Summary[edit]

A village doctress distilling eyewater
Title
A village doctress distilling eyewater
Description

The watercolour shows a rural medical practitioner, a woman, not young, using her own urine to create a medicine which she offers for sale for rubbing on the eyes to dispel bad humours of the eye. She urinates in the right foreground into a funnel over a chemical vessel; another, younger woman urinates in the left background into a funnel placed in a barrel, and a cat urinates in the left foreground on to the ground. She and the younger woman urine is coming out in a rather large stream.
